Bottom dwellers from adorable corydoras to rare L-types, are an important part of most freshwater aquariums. The Bottom Dwellers forum is the place to ask your questions about fish that call the bottom of the tank their home!

Thanks! He was just about ready to let them out of the cave so he didn't push them all to the back and then block any chance for a photo. They are out now and he's feeding heavily in preparation for the next spawn.

LOL That's a good question. With 80+ tanks, I can use a good number of them right here in the fish room. After that, they will most likely go to local club swap meets and auctions.

It used to be, I could use fish to barter with the LFS, but now the big pet chain stores just turn up their nose at hobbyist raised fish. It's really a shame as quite often the locally raised fish are of better quality than what they are offering in the stores.

Wow, such an amazing statement and true.

Bristlenose are always in demand so regardless I know that you'll find homes for all them.
